NAPOLEON’S LEGACY• Military Success• Napoleonic Code "My true glory is not to have won 40 battles...Waterloo will
erase the memory of so many victories. ... But...what will live forever, is my Civil Code."
• Spread Enlightenment ideas• Growth of nationalism throughout Europe• Metric system• Louisiana Purchase
2 MAIN FACTORS FOR NAPOLEON’S MILITARY FAILURE1)THE SURVIVAL OF GREAT BRITAIN2)NATIONALISM
•Ironic – French Revolution and NAPOLEON spread these ideas
1. caused France to be hated2. showed Europe what nationalism/rebellion could do
